The Time Proven preservation of Curing Country Ham comes to us from the way food was preserved on the family farms of NC Piedmont and Uwharrie area before electricity and refrigeration. Necessity being in most cases the mother of invention and so it is true with Country Ham which invention has been handed from one generation to another, and refined to the art of the taste of Country Ham. This comes from the family necessity of butchering hogs in the late fall allowed for them to cure ham before the cold winter months by rubbing them with salt, and sugar, and other spices to begin a curing process. Today those traditions of preserving Country Ham are being kept alive in the Mountains and Piedmont of North Carolina. When considering Country Ham know that Wet Cured and Dried Cured (County) Hams are very different in taste with the Country Ham having a distinctive salty taste and a tender yet more distinct texture than the wet cured.
